AN INCOMPLETE OFFICIAL REPORT.
The State Auditor Refuses to Certify the
Report of Warden Patten.

Auditor of State Carr has refused to certify
the report of Warden Patten and the directors
of the Southern prison because it does not cover
the transactions of the institution for the whole
fiscal year. From November, 1856 untiI after
the legislative investigation last winter the pris-
on was under the management Of Jack Howard
and the report gives no information whatever
about its affairs during that period. A Journal
reporter inquired at the Governors Office yester-
day what would be done in regard to the matter.
1.-The attention of the officers will be called &c
the fact that tho report is Incomplete" said
Pierre Gray. the Governors private secretary,
land they will be asked to supply the necessary
information. 1t may be that the warden
unable to give report covering more than his
own transactions, but rather | think that he be-
lieved he was not required to do more than give
a statement OF what had been done while he was
in Office. The prison books will show the
dition Of affairs, have doubt, because Mr..
Hewitt was very fine book-keeper and the re-
port can be made complete from them"

A Novel Wedding Salute.


A crowd of typical East-side young men
marched into a downtown church this morning
after a couple who seemed to be dressed with
more than usual care. 1t was a wedding party.
The principal actors proceeded at once to the
altar rail- where the clergyman was waiting to
perform the ceremony. The others of the party
ranged themselves singly along either side Of
the aisle, each in q seat The knot
tied and the happy couple at once started to
leave the church. AS they were going down the
aisle all their friends stood up. Suddenly there
was the bang of a pew door, It seemed a sig
nal, for at once every one in the party began to
bang the door of the pew that he or she occupied,
and the noise like the firing of guns was kept up
until the bride and groom reached the door.
clergyman could speak all fled soiemny out.
One youth when asked what the proceeding
meant, replied:
'Well, it's jest cis way: we couldn't afford no

FertiIiziDg with Clover.


A correspondent requests information in re-
gard to how best to fertilize with clover. and
whether 1t should grow to a certain height. be
used as pasture or cut as hay before blowing
under. There are several modes of fertilizing
with clover. One is simply to use clover crop
in a rotation, the simple occupancy of the land
by the clover being beneficial, the sod must
always be turned under before another crop can
be grown. To pillow under a crop of growing
clover that can be cut as hay will be objected to
by farmers, they will not willingly make
such direct sacrifice. Nor they required
to do The object in advocating the advan-
tages of growing crop OF clover Is to induce
larger number of farmers to grow more of il.
If sown on wheat land, and good stand be Sc
cured the clover will occupy the land after the
wheat shall be off, and may be used for any
purposes desired. either as pasturage
to hay; but the fertilizine of the
land is done by the decay of roots after the sod
shall have been p!owed under. 1t is a property
air, and not from the soil. The proof of this
fact is shown by the large amount of nitrogen
IN clover, yet it thrives best on soil rich in
potash and lime Though containing nitrogen
in great proportion, yet it is not benefited by
applications of fertilizers containing nitrogen,
thus demonstrating that it derives the greater
proportion of its nitrogen from the atmosphere,
which is stored largely in the roots by the plant,
while the mineral matter is derived from the
soil If the farmer, therefore will grow crop
of clover on the same land every four years ne
will fertilize the land with the
nitrogen taken from the atmosphere,
thus enriching his soil with that whi:h
will cost him but very little and he may Gu. his
crop and dispose of it. provided he shall pillow
under the sod and thus utilize che roots. II an
application of lime and wood ashes be made on
the land annually. the farmer need not be com
PEELED to purchase heterogeneous fertilizers at all,
and these advantages he will secure by simply
growing the crop the land. If. however. he
should prefer to seed down to clover in the
spring. cut the first growth the next season, and
then pillow under the second growth when the
clover shall be from six inches to one foot high.
he will add additional green manurial matter to
the soil; but without blowing under anything
but the sod after ali the crop shall have been
secured the land will still be benefited, pro-
vidsd the mineral elements (which not cost
ly) be supplied, such as lime and potash but

Too Much Timothy.

correspondence Indiana Farmer
AS a rule. / think that too much timothy hay
is made in this country. / have nothing say
against the hay as hay. but I do not think that
it pays to grow much timothy. Timothy is
too much like wheat in its nature and demands.
1t draws too heavily the soil TO ripen its
weight of straw and seed. Il is generally sup
posed that seeding piece of land to grass gives
it a rest. and with most grasses such is the case
There are several reasons for this. In the first
place. the grass crop is not usually allowed to
rpen. With the exception OF the timothy
and some other like grasses, the growth
is of forage rather than of seed
and grain. It is the ripening of seed that makes
the greatest drain upon the land The green,
growing crop of grass draws largely from the
air. And then, too, the grass sod forms a pro-
tecting covering over the soil that prevents
much evaporation. and absorbs and retains ele-
ments of fertility Manifestly the grass that
has a full, thick top growth and most complete
" shades the ground, is tho best for the land.
The timothy does not fill the bill in either case
It has woody, fbrous growth that draws hsav-
lily from the soil, riDsns or at least produces

Covering Plants for Winter.


There are two points to bear in mind in COW
ering alf-hardy plants for winter. One of
these is that plants which retain their green
leaves easily smothered with any kind o.
air-teht cover. Hence the reason that straw
berry plants are in danger of being rotted with
a thick layer OF forest leaves. while corn fodder
and other coarse fbrous material will admit air,
and be of positive benefit For the Same reason
evergresns excellent protection. Snow,
unless packed thick and solid, or soaked
with water. and then frozen, often proves a
valuable winter covering. Its myriad OF feath-
cry crystals render it porous macs, and when
a few inches of it rest green plants. held
there by thin brush, it becomes excellent
shield from cutting winds. These facts should
be borne IN mind in covering for winter any
green, autumn own vegetables, as lettuce, spin
ach and onions. On the other hand, all plants
which drop their leaves. most herbaceous
perennials and all deciduous shrubs. may be
densely covered, the exclusion Of air being no
detriment. This fact may be borne in mind in
covering tender roses among shrubs. and hya-
cinth and some lily roots among bulbs, as well
as grapes, raspberries and blackberries, which,
however, do not usually require much covering
a mere prostration often proving sufficient pro-
lection.

Blackberry Culture.
Wisconsin Farmers Institute Report.

Wisconsin Farmers Institute Report.
c. R. Hamilton, of Ripon, talked blackberry
culture, which he holds can be extended with
profit to many sections in Wisconsin. He makes
it a safe business by layering the cane down in
the fall and covering it with dirt. which he saws
can be done at an expense of s. j. NJ
Smith asked if he knew any variety that did as
we'll without coverinel Mr.. Hamilton replied
that the most hardy will bear % per cent more
berries if lsyered down in winter. He sets in
rows 7x2 feet With him the best variety is
the Ancient Briton. He found that continuous
cultivation helped them through a drought,
the same as it helped the corn-Rrowers.
To nay straw to cover berry plants
of any kind induces the mice to make winter
quarters in them and kill the bushes. He
trims raspberry bushes to two feet high, as
to make low bush that will stand the wind.
Last years bearing cane dies. and he cuts it
out He wants all the shade for
the berries he get from the
bushes that bear them, andprefers cultlva-
ton close up to the canes instead of mulching.
Mr.. Adams believed in mulching. as it was the
law mans delight to get all he could without
working for it 1t helped TO retain more mois-
ture than stirring would gather from the air.
and he believed made better berries Chips and
sawdust make good mulch for currants. He

Winter Dairyipg.

making Acknowledging thar it has its hard
points still there are few farmers not stu

least make good start at it. for il is OF
those occupations that need not he gone into
with rush. The first thing Is to have the dairy
implements and cow stables adapted to cold
weather work the feed must be hand, and
lastly. the cows must be fresh nearly so. The
market will generally take of itself, for
under the present state of affairs there never is
an over-supply of good butter in winter. This
fact should be the great incentive to the
progressive farmer for changing from sum-
mer to winter dairying, and inspire
him TO double exertions in trying
adapt his herd and buildings to
meet this never failing demand for fresh
article It may be too much to ask of the old
dairyman, who has been all his life plodding
along in summer work. to make sudden
even a gradual change, for farmers are by nat
ure of conservative nature, extremely
hard TO induce TO make experiments but to the
young man who is just starting in lite, and has
the prospects of a long future before him. we
can imagine nothing more full of promise than
a well-regulated winter dairy. Hissummer can
then be occupied with accommodating the mate

ments adapted the work, it is just

THE HOOKING VALLEY LAWSUIT.
The Action of Judge Stevenson Burke and His
Associates Declared Illegal.

COLUMBUS, O.. Dec. 22.-Judge Evans of the
Common Pleas Court to-day rendered decision
in the case of Columbus. Hooking Valley & To-

president, against Stevenson Burke and others,
overriding the motion OF defendants TO dissolve
the injunction, which ties up about
100000 of property, in which
about 100000 OF stocks and
bonds are at issue. There were q large number
of attorneys present, including Judge Burke,
Ex-Governor Hoadly, and President Shaw. of
the road. The following is q synopsis: The
court found that in July, 1881. the defendant,
Burke, and his associates. purchased substan-
TALLY the capital stock Of three railway COM
panies and consolidated them into one COM
pany (the plaintiff.) The consolidated company's
authorized stock was $50. 600, 600. of which
over one-half issued to Burke and
his associates in exchange for their stocks
in constituent companies, whereby Burke and
associates became owners and holders Of all the
stock of the consolidated companies. They
then held stockholders meeting and elected
themselves directors. Afterward such direct

Hooking Valley, and paid for the same with the
corporate funds. Such contracts void. and
for the same reason they are incapable of max
Ing sucn contracts they equally incapable OF
executing them so as to bind the
pany If the directors purchase their
own property from themselves and pay them
selves with corporate funds the company may,
in It's own name, by action, compel them to
count for the funds received If the directors
and stockholders wrongfully appropriate the
corporate funds to thei- own private purposes,
to purposes beyond the corporate
powers, the duty of the corporation as quasi
trustee for it's creditors. is not absolved
but remains, and the right of
he corporation to the funds, at least until they
reach the possession of parties who have given
the full value for them in ignorance of their
trust character. The company is not estopped
from maintaining the action by the fact that at
the time Of the purchase of the stock and the
use of the funds to pay for the same. the direct
ors owned all It's capital stock,
and stockholders unanimously rati-
fed what they, as directors, had done.
The directors having, from the proceeds of the
the coal stock, discharged their individual in
debtedness third party, who had
their stock in the plaintiff company
as collateral thereto. the company may follow
its funds used into the stock and claim an
equity in it. Such collateral stock. after reduc-
ton, was held by defendants trustees for the
plaintiff company. and the latter. though not
empowered to traffic in its own stock, may
cestui qui trust have equity therein.
Immediately after Judge Evans had
Guided Judge Burke, Of the defense entered an
exception to the ruling. After it had been
noted, Mr.. Burke gave notice of an intention
to make application for order increasing the
amount of bond the plaintiffs have fled.
